A decision in favour of building a railhead rests on its economic viability and this is still being explored.
Even with an existing railhead available at source, the overall cost markedly exceeded that of supply by road.
Railheads were mentioned earlier, and they make an enormous difference.
I am afraid that if the railhead is not developed at the market, some people will look elsewhere for trains that can deliver the produce.
My main point about the facilities relates to the railhead.
The specially constructed flasks containing these elements are transported predominantly by rail with short-distance road journeys to the nearest available railhead.
If it were 80 miles from the railhead on a road that was first-class, that was not regarded as remote but as near.
The disadvantage of that tunnel was that it would be a considerable distance from any railhead.
